A2SD-2025

1st Advancing Autonomous Scientific Discovery Workshop

At the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific discovery lies a transformative frontier. The A2SD-2025 Workshop convenes leading minds from domain sciences, computing, and AI to pioneer the next generation of autonomous laboratories. As experimental facilities generate data at unprecedented scales and complexity, we face both extraordinary opportunities and critical challenges. Our collaborative effort addresses four pillars: hybrid AI systems grounded in scientific principles, universal interfaces for seamless equipment integration, real-time experimental decision-making capabilities, and robust ethical frameworks. By bridging human scientific intuition with autonomous systems, we aim to establish a global community that transcends institutional boundaries and democratizes access to cutting-edge research capabilities. Join us in shaping a future where autonomous science accelerates discovery while preserving the creative essence of human inquiry.
